Developed as part of the National Theatre of Scotland’s Workshop strand, and co-produced by the Traverse Theatre in 2007, I wrote this play in collaboration with the cast. We ended up creating a dark tale about a web of oddball characters, exploring themes of voyeurism, surveillance and the black economy. A building contractor goes bust, but pretends to his wife that everything is normal. Meanwhile, she keeps receiving disturbing prank calls. A security guard becomes obsessed with a cleaner, who in turn concocts a scam to exploit migrant workers, as a forensic photographer enters into a strange relationship with a teenage prank caller. Then, towards the end, the perspective completely shifts thanks to Will Holt’s inventive set design.
